Several important games on Saturday. Really good matchups.

 

[Orangezoo]

All the BS homer calls Miami got vs us.. naturally it's the opposite vs Duke...

 

[blust2i3d4]

We will be no worse than No. 4 (tied) in the end of today because Miami already lost and either UNC or NC State will lose. Also Virginia is facing Wake Forest, one will lose, too.

1st place Clemson losing at halftime at home to 11th place VT by five. Crazy league.

Tied at 44 with 3:50 to go. Very low scoring game.

This has turned into an entertaining game. I feel like both teams can be beat. Hall for Clemson will be a tough matchup

Clemson 3 puts them up 1 with under 10 seconds left.

Clemson 51, VT 50

Man, how can you sleep at night and cash a paycheck when that's the best you can draw up for your team with 10 seconds left in the game.

They got an open three for their best shooter. The other team is coached too.

C'mon, it was a fall away 3. Plus, they where only down by 1 point!

They really don’t have any mid range shooters.

I didn’t realize the play Smith was hurt was the same play Black was ejected. Saw a replay. It was of poor quality but based on what I saw, I would think Black will be suspended for at least 1 game. Maybe more.

Far more egregious that what Buddy did.

10+ seconds left in the game, down by 1 point.
Let's see -
Get the ball across time-line as quickly as possible.
Call timeout, if available.
Call play going to the basket; forces opponent to risk fouling, or even freezes them.
Layup or foul shots are better than a desperation 3.

I've never coached basketball in my life, and even I know this...
